Highlights
Pet care experience
Friendly, Energetic, & Caring!
Hello! I’m Merline :) I’m a responsible and caring dog sitter with years of experience watching my friends’ dogs and taking care of my younger brothers. I stay active and exercise daily, so if you have an energetic pup, I’d be more than happy to keep them entertained! For lap dogs (or big wannabe lap dogs), I’m also a huge cuddler and will shower them with plenty of love and attention. I’ve never met a dog I didn’t like, and I’m fully prepared to match the energy of jumpers, bouncers, and playful pups to ensure they have a great time. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I can assure you that your dog will be safe and well cared for with me. Feel free to reach out if you’d like more information about my schedule or want to arrange a meet-and-greet. I look forward to meeting you and your pup!

Ratings and reviews
Merlin’s was wonderful and made our dog, Roxie, a part of her home! We appreciated the daily updates and cute pictures. We will use no doubt book her again the future!
Highly recommend Merline! She was very accommodating with my schedule and followed all of my dogs care routine perfectly. She took excellent care of my pups needs and was so attentive to him that I didn't have to stress at all.
Merline took great care of Sarge and provided daily updates. She gave him yummy treats and gave him extra people food to go along with his regular dog food. When Sarge didn’t want to go upstairs to sleep at night, she joined him downstairs so he wouldn’t be alone. Her family also looked after Sarge and showered him with love. When I picked up Sarge, he was very calm and relaxed, which tells me that he had a good time while away from his family.
Merline and her family took wonderful care of our dog Merida, who has a lot of energy and can sometimes be challenging. Merline was able to quickly figure out Merida's personality and needs, which is not easy to do and we are very grateful!
Merlin was excellent and she gaves us constant updates. She was so kind to laddu gave her space to adjust and brought her treats. I am sure laddu was so happy with her and her family. I would highly recommend her for anyone who is looking for a sitter. Thanks for taking care of Laddu Merlin!!
Merline took great care of my fur baby. Highly recommended!

Schedule
I am currently a law school student, and so I have classes only three times a week from August to November and from January to April. I am home most hours during the week, but I live with family as well. My mother works from home, and my brothers are here after school on weekdays. Your pup will typically not be alone - especially for more than an hour at a time. Most of the time, there is someone home!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in my home, I prioritize creating a safe, welcoming, and comfortable environment. I make sure that pups have plenty of space to relax, play, and explore while staying under my supervision. I provide consistent care, including feeding, watering, and administering any medications according to their specific schedule and needs. Exercise is a key part of my routine, whether that’s taking dogs on walks, playing fetch in the yard, or keeping them entertained indoors. I also make sure to give lots of affection and attention so that your pup will feel loved and secure during their stay.
A typical day
I go on walks daily and I am very active so energetic dogs will have a good time. I also spend most days of the week at home when not in class!
